Gov. Chris Christie's nomination on June 7 of Republican Fredric M. Knapp to be the next Morris County prosecutor will expire unless the state Senate Judiciary Committee and full Senate vote in December to approve the choice.

Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union, the Judiciary Committee chairman, has canceled every session of the 13-member committee since September, including one to be held Dec. 6. Scutari did not return a call for comment Friday, but his office aide said a Judiciary Committee session is scheduled for Dec. 13.
